Now for my Pick of the week, the Grand Opening of The Robert Berman Gallery’s third gallery (B-7), at Bergamot Station….located at 2525 Michigan Ave.
The Robert Berman Gallery presents Lost and Found/Abstracting Los Angeles 1945-1980 as their latest offering for the Getty Foundation’s initiative, Pacific Standard Time.
This historic gallery space was home to the Patricia Faure Gallery, where well known artists gathered at notorious parties. So it is apropos that the grand opening will occur simultaneously with an exhibition which celebrates the same iconic artists as part of Pacific Standard Time.
Lost and Found explores the work of obscure and renowned artists who helped spark the art movement in Los Angeles during the 1950s. This exhibition honors the legend of the Cool School days, born out of the famous Ferus Gallery. The focus of this exhibition is post-war works up to 1980.
Lost and Found includes select works by Elsa Wagner, Stanley Tschopp, Ted Gilien, Eugene Berman, Jules Engel, Russ Tamblyn(see above image), John Grillo, Ben Talbert, Hans Burkhardt, James Gill, Paul Bruch, Norman Zammitt, Agnes Kellog, William Tunberg, Henrietta Berk, Joe Goode, Oskar Fischinger, Frank Lobdell, John Baldessari, Ed Kienholz (see image), Bruce Conner, Craig Kauffman, Carlos Almaraz, Llyn Folkes, Rico Lebrun, Larry Bell, Eric Orr, Man Ray, Don Sorenson, John Altoon, and Robert Graham.
